Training 29th Nov

Yep with Wright compare him to David Hale, or Leigh Brown, or Josh Jenkins, not Ben King or Carey or Richo.

Klawdy · November 29, 2021, 5:28am

What? Giving away frees and 50m penalties willy nilly, poor form and selfish play. Criticism was justified.

But to his credit those things were turned around and he finished the season off well.

sine_nomine · November 29, 2021, 5:32am

Walla was obviously thinking he was getting knocked off the ball to easily.

Could now be the big bodied mid we’ve been looking for.

Soulnet · November 29, 2021, 5:33am

Langford also was running with Tippa.

andrewb · November 29, 2021, 5:34am

Dean Rioli would have snacked on him

Finding_Nino · November 29, 2021, 5:34am

Look like a bunch of rough nuts love it

You can’t truely think that Draper is a better forward than Wright. That is utterly delusional.

The reason I brought up Wright, was because you were complaining that people were being too harsh on Smith and Shiel…… yet you don’t allow the same leeway to Wright.

My point is that Shiel & Smith are in our top bracket of Salary earners, and they are paid to deliver results……

Wright is a role player, who well and truely delivered last season.

Credit to Langford and Jones on inviting all 4 new draftees out to a cafe last night

Jacobb · November 29, 2021, 5:36am

Let’s see if he can at this level play first

westozziebomber · November 29, 2021, 5:36am

yeah wow. he’s in shocking shape

he’s at day 1 of pre season though = good sign.

j_w · November 29, 2021, 5:39am

Really great to see Hobbs’ dad come down for his son’s first training session and even get suited up.

jonovdp · November 29, 2021, 5:41am

Unfortunately for Tippa he has the natural body shape, that if he drops his exercise schedule for a few weeks……… his fitness level will fall back a long long way.

I think Jobe & Stringer have a similar issue…

someone like Stanton or Cox…… who could do no exercise for 2 months. Then smash out 4km no problems at all.

Finding_Nino · November 29, 2021, 5:46am

yikes

smooth · November 29, 2021, 5:47am

Yeah that’s a fair point. He’s only a small bloke height-wise as well, so any weight he does put on looks more noticeable.

Sloots · November 29, 2021, 5:53am

Tippa’s in better shape than I imagined. Training full time for 3 months he’ll easily drop that weight.

Klawdy · November 29, 2021, 5:57am

I was expecting him to be looking like Rahkeem Cornwall.

chris_64 · November 29, 2021, 5:58am

Voss is a really good size 193 cm, well developed upper body 92 kg

Saucy · November 29, 2021, 6:04am

Voss looks bit like Noah Gown.

whereswalla · November 29, 2021, 6:05am

First day back into pre-season and as expected there are a few Blitzers already dusting off their mourning jackets. Waḻla’s clearly got work to do but let’s revisit his physical condition closer to the season start date.

vbi · November 29, 2021, 6:06am

Got to training for the first time in a number of years.

Just some snippets to add to the great reporting and photos that have preceded this.

Missed the start of the session being the run, but was great to see the talk out on the track. Hepp reminding everyone it’s about quality of effort. Big Sammy telling the team to hurry up and grab your boots and make the most of the session. Zerk Thatch telling them to go off as a unit when transitioning from one sesh to the other oval. As mentioned; the laughing between zack and Hindy whilst they were wrestling in a drill and going hard(elbows and little jabs). Even the support for the boys running laps whilst drills were going on.
